Some of the plans include giving buses their own lanes, improving pedestrian safety by repainting walkways and extending curbs, working on intersection safety by improving traffic lights, and extending crossover lanes.
"Basic fundamental improvements like that that every community should have a right to expect," said Casey.
This is all in addition to the Boulevard speed camera program which the city believes is why crashes on the Boulevard dropped 36% since being installed.He says any funding to make the boulevard safer is money well spent. "Safety is always a concern of ours. We're worried about the kids getting to and from the park and the boulevard being a 12-lane highway is always a concern when we send our kids home," he said.
The city hopes to have final designs for boulevard improvements done by next year. The work itself likely will happen in 2025.
